    This is hidden so far you have to have read this thread in order to know this feature exists. (there is a usability hint hidden in this statement)
  2. SlavaUX
    I don't want to complain to much about otherwise great design tool, but every time I need some feature from Designer I find a thread like this where it is already requested for years.

    I'm sorry I do not get why you are telling all this stuff about where selection belongs to. What does it matter? Selection is still a vector (a geometric, connected shape defined by X.Y coordinates of its points), and in its nature it cannot have overlapping areas of its own parts. Which makes it simple and perfectly suitable for implementing the requested delete feature by applying the exact same modifications as the "Image layer" has, and deleting the pixels in the original bitmap even though the original bitmap is contained inside a scaled and skewed "Image layer". I'm willing to bet two beers that once I got familiar with the codebase of Affinity I could code such operation in a day. This is not what I call hard to build.

    Seriously, I don't know why just wrote that. That message contains no added value to the matter in question.

    Saving to file and embedding otherwise simply pasted bitmaps, just to be able to delete selection once? For each bitmap in every new design document? ehm..

    Any progress on this? I need this almost on every time I use Designer

    Thanks. I got that from the previous posts in this thread. The functionality is a useful addition, which allows out of the box image manipulation without losing the resolution and revert changes. I also understand that current versions of Affinity Designer/Photo are unable to delete bitmap pixels form a selection on top of an Image layer. From my perspective it should be possible to implement ('walking ants' selection path is a single vector path anyway, so just apply size/scale/skew from the image layer in reverse order to the underlying original bitmap and delete those pixels. voila). This should be applicable to Erase Brush tool just as easy. Please put this on your roadmap. You know people want it.

    That's simply not a good explanation of why deleting is not possible. Vectors consist of multiple geometric shapes laid on top of each other, which is the reason you can't select by color or delete that selection. Image layer still contains one single bitmap. Scaled, rotated, stretched or not, there is nothing that makes Select Brush > Delete impossible to build in. Users are complaining about this missing basic feature since 2016. I don't think it is anyone's interest to defend the lack of it and point people to the workarounds.

    wow. ok. So you are saying: - it is impossible to delete selection without rasterizing - that every time I just want to delete a part of an image I need to DRAW a mask in THAT SHAPE? And who is going to pay me for the lost hours? I don't believe what I'm reading here. That's something that is done in almost any other tool in seconds..
  11. SlavaUX
    I find it horrible UX when I fail to perform such a basic as select > delete selection What if I don't want to rasterize the image? How do I delete selection from an "Image" without rasterizing it??
  12. SlavaUX
    I can't find this " File ▸ New Batch Job " menu item. Is it removed?
  13. SlavaUX
    I'm wondering what the viewpoint is of the developers at Serif. Are you guys working on it? or is it one of the features you put in "won't fix" bucket?
  14. SlavaUX
    I saw the implementation thanks to a guy on youtube. Though it is completely useless because it is not in Designer. I would need to purchase Photo just to add perspective to bitmaps, and that would only cover 30% of my perspective needs. I need perspective as a part of my main design process inside the same tool which can apply/modify perspective on the fly to bitmaps, vectors and symbol instances. Affinity Photo perspective implementation is really beautifully made and this is exactly what I'm asking here as a feature of Designer.

    I'm really needing a free transform tool that can handle Vector shapes and groups Bitmaps Symbols (with whatever is inside it) Sample use case attached. Affinity Designer Freetransform Distort Tool Feature Request.mp4

    Any status update on this? I'm using 1.7 beta, is it maybe already there?
  17. SlavaUX
    It is not happening on a new document. But does happen on two different files created with previous Designer versions. Also reproducible in a clean VM environment. Example file attached. Shift Click Crash.afdesign
  18. SlavaUX
    The .afdesign file (attached to my previous message) did not contain anything except a single vector curve with a solid color fill. So for this specific file Designer gives me the correct output with Rasterize:Nothing, but it will of course fail to do so when output partially contains bitmaps or effects that should be rasterized.
  19. SlavaUX
    Title pretty much describes it. No randomness. Designer crashes every time I try to Shift+Click select slices. This happens both in the Slices panel as when selecting the blue slice boundary boxes on the artboard.
  20. SlavaUX
    @legin No that is not the case. SVG for Web preset reproducibly triggers flattening. With more testing I found that custom preset with Rasterize explicitly set to "Nothing" workarounds the issue, successfully exporting SVG as vector. Causes rasterizing: Doesn't cause rasterizing: Export issue.afdesign
  21. SlavaUX
    SVG images get exported as SVG file, but they contain a bitmap instead of vector. Beta v1.7.0.209 exported vectors just fine. (tested with the same file) Export v1.7.0.209.svg Export v1.7.0.258.svg

    I just want to add that I came here after I failed to get rid of the guides by moving them in the empty space between the artboards in v1.7. I've read here that it should have worked, so I gave it another shot by moving the guides beyond the last artboard, and only then it worked.
  23. SlavaUX
    Hi Chris, good news and bad news. I am no longer able to reproduce this issue, as it was magically gone after I switched between Personas once. So I am able and fully using the 1.7, but I can no longer debug it for you. No, I have no additional keyboard/clipboard related software running. Possible interference may come from Display Fusion Pro or Kaspersky Internet Security. I can think of nothing else running on my workstation that would mess with the focus. The extraordinary thing was that the issue was only with that specific submenu and occurred only when you try to expand it by hovering. I'm on Lenovo Thikpad W541 laptop @ FHD screen, no scaling.

    Count my vote on guides distance measure Fireworks style! Being able to measure distance between guidelines is the reason, mostly only reason I use guides during design process.

    As soon as I hover over "Studio", something blinks on the top-right of the Designer Window, followed by immidiate disappearing of the previously expanded "View" main menu. This makes it impossible to show any sub windows like Assets. I did find any workarounds. Windows 7 x64
